Is Knowledge Wrong?

i keep wondering if knowing too much is a bad thing. i know some things can benefit us in an exceptional way, but that same benefit can be a curse. once you gain knowledge you gain the good and bad and you cant go back to undo it. so in a sense its robbing you of your pureness. People say knowledge is power, but people also say money is power, and money is the root of all evil. I think everything is connected by one thing. the thing that connects everything is mysterious yet is present in everything and anything we do. so i think deeper knowledge into any topic will eventually lead to an end because of a lack of knowledge of a connecting subject, and once you try to learn of the connecting subject it will come to the same ending as the first. so everything in a way is just a huge circle because one cannot know EVERYTHING. i think knowledge is infinite. and we cannot comprehend infinity but we know it exists. i want to know how much knowledge is too much, and are we meant to know certain things? will knowledge eventually ruin us? are the negative effects of knowledge worth it?

I think you should stop doing drugs.

 

The more Knowledge the better.

 

then id end up like you

 

I think knowledge is a great thing to have, and there is nothing wrong with it at all. But I guess knowledge could be bad at times, depending on what kind of things you are learning. Sometimes I feel there are certain things I would be better off not having any knowledge about whatsoever.

 

bump.

 

Well no one can have infinite knowledge, that is correct, because knowledge comes through experience, or education. Who's to say though we are not meant to know certain things? What could be these certain things we are not meant to know? Knowledge can not have a negative effect on ourselves, unless we didn't learn from mistakes, I'm mainly addressing the point of experience, not so much the education aspect of the topic.

 

absolutely, it has ruined our lives, but it could be good

 

as the old saying goes..."Dont be too smart for your own good!"
